Dive your way down to the depths of the Sea to gain fabulous prizes. There is no healing in this region, so you'll need to avoid damage at all costs. Cards with spells will be an absolute essential! Paths to the good stuff will open if you have gathered at least 50x of each of the Summer Memories components -- Echo, Meia, and Sarah -- during your trips through the event. Diving news page
